Hi,

What is the status of cross compiling D to multiple platforms? I know it is possible, but how easy is it? How many issues do you have to mess with on different platforms?

What about ARM / Android support?

And what about OpenGL support? Is that easy? And does it work easily across platforms?

I can only speak to Android as I've been working on getting ldc on there, take a look at this release on github:

There are a few small issues with inlining and CTFE in a couple modules left, but most everything works.  I'll have a new release out this week.

This is the OpenGL binary.
Have used it on both Windows and Linux, I just got a window up and running on both, and it works well.

Read more here on how to get it up and running:

Yup, as long as you have a context it will work fine.

The desktop ones are easy. ARM linux isn't to bad (use gdc or ldc). Android, iOS are in the works and have some support.

idk about Windows Phone, but I plan to take a look soonish.

You can call opengl functions the same as C.
